AAPS to Test Apple’s Mountain Lion

The Ann Arbor Public School technology bond professional team has asked that the board of trustees appropriate $54,540 to purchase 30 Macbook Pro laptop computers, in order to train and test on Apple’s new Mountain Lion operating system. The purchase was approved at the board’s Sept. 5 meeting, after being added to the consent agenda. It had originally appeared on the agenda as a first briefing item.

The point of the testing is to check compatibility  with the district’s current software applications as the district replaces all of its computers.

This brief was filed shortly after the board’s meeting concluded. A more detailed report of the meeting will follow: [link]
